About
Hello! I am Çağla (Cha-la). This is how I pronounce my full name. I am a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Old Dominion University. I am also a Ph.D. Candidate in the Philosophy Department at Syracuse University.
My research is on linguistic justice. I develop philosophical resources to understand multilingual agency and identify challenges that nonnative speakers experience under oppressive linguistic regimes. My research is currently supported by the Marjorie Boulton Fellowship.
I grew up in Turkey. I have two BAs from Bogazici University, Istanbul. I started as a Political Science and International Relations student and then double majored with Philosophy. I also have an MA in Philosophy from the same university.
